| | Al Azhar mosque was completed in 972, just three years after the invasion, as Fatimid army commander Jawhar the Sicilian built the city of Cairo. | | | But for 500 years, until the 1920s, al Azhar banned his masterpiece, a tome in which he cast a skeptical and scientific eye on world history as it was known in his time. | | | The mosque, which most scholars believe was named for the Prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatima al-Zahraa, and the city flourished during a golden age in the early years of Fatimid rule. |

| | Muslim WakeUp! Going Backwards: How the Venerable Al-Azhar Is Shutting Women Out |
| |
One day a mosque employee, dressed in a scruffy gallabiyya and bearing a scowl on his face, ordered me into the harim, or womens section, when I was sitting with my Arabic teacher under the arcades. | | | In this section, I could breathe; it was almost as if I was in the main prayer hall, and at least we had our own mihrab also, during prayers, the men stood at the same distance from the Imam as women. | | | At busy times there could be more than a hundred women sitting in the mosque, and at prayer time, a few hundred. |
